THOSE WHO DON'T LEARN FROM HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT. From the Stong Age to the information age, the undead have threated to engulf the human race. They're coming. They're hungry. DON'T WAIT FOR THEM TO COME TO YOU! This is the graphic novel the fans demanded: major zombie attacks from the dawn of humanity. On the African savannas, against the legions of ancient Rome, on the high seas with Francis Drake... every civlization has faced them. Here are the grisly and heroic stories - complete with eye-popping artwork that pulsates with the hideous faces of the undead. ORGANISE BEFORE THEY RISE! Scripted by the world's leading zombie authority, Max Brooks, 'Recorded Attacks' reveals how other eras and cultures have dealt with - and survived - the ancient viral plague. By immersing ourselves in past horror we may yet prevail over the coming outbreak in our time.

Review:

'An absolute must have... Brooks infuses his writing with such precise detail and authenticity, one wonders if he knows something we don't' --Simon Pegg on 'World War Z'

'So meticulous and well researched that it's more scary than funny' --Esquire on 'The Zombie Survival Guide'

Max Brooks is so straightforward, so sensible and logical about everything, that you start to believe him when he begins talking about the necessary steps needed for an average American to outlast a worldwide plague of flesh eating zombies, This practical approach is exactly what makes his book 'The Zombie Survival Guide' so funny --Fangoria

Synopsis:

They have attacked Roman armies. The French Foreign Legion. Even prehistoric man. The undead have been a threat to humankind for millennia, and the living must always fight to survive. They're coming. And they're hungry. This gruesome graphic novel chronicles the most notorious undead outbreaks in history. Recorded attacks includes eye-popping artwork from Avatar Press (publisher of Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Garth Ennis, and George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead") and frighteningly beautiful splash pages packed with action, swords, gore, and, of course, hoards of drooling, walking, reanimated corpses hungry for live flesh. Those who don't learn from zombie history are condemned to repeat it.
